Journey to the West: Start by giving Taishang Laojun a whole life

Chapter 4: The Secret of the Cold Pond, the Ominous Red-Haired Old Monster

"As expected of the bull from Taishang Laojun's family, a legendary prehistoric species, with great talent. I simplified the Tao Te Ching ten thousand times and spent three months to practice it, but the other party only took three hours... What a difference..."

"hiss!"

Zhang Tian couldn't help but take three deep breaths, and silently raised the number of gods in the sky by three levels in his mind, increasing his level of importance tenfold.

Even if gods were everywhere, he could not look down on them now. Just like the saying goes, if you call me Xiao Zuanfeng on the mountain, I won't blame you. But if we go down the mountain, what will you call me?
Ancestor Zuanfeng!

He sent the generous green bull away, feeling extremely grateful. After all, it was obvious that the Bull Demon's Power Fist was not an ordinary martial arts technique. It might even be the legendary method of cultivating immortals and achieving longevity that he had been pursuing for many years.

Zhang Tian couldn't bear it any longer, so he opened the book and read it carefully. He originally wanted to simplify the Bull Demon's Power Fist, but when he thought of the strange look in the blue bull's eyes and the importance it attached to the eye on his forehead, he decided to wait a while.

As he gazed intently, the Taoist eye cultivated from the Tao Te Ching on his forehead showed its divine power, and a divine light was drawn from the book. He heard a mysterious sound in his ears, as if an old cow was teaching and guiding him step by step.

And he became a calf.

"Bull Demon Body Refining..."

Zhang Tian began to move his fists and feet according to his perception. At first, he was very slow, but soon he became fast. His body was as light as a swallow and as powerful as a dragon or snake swinging its tail.

The powerful qi and blood hidden in the body, as strong as the sun, broke out, causing the surrounding plants to react immediately, as if they were being burned.

White mist rises.

The flesh and blood all over his body was churning.

The muscles and bones are lengthening.

Accompanied by a crackling sound, Zhang Tian could hardly bear it anymore. He lay on the ground, swallowing the water from the cold pond into his stomach. A faint shadow appeared on his body, and a huge illusion appeared behind him.

This time the technique he practiced was not a simplified one. Zhang Tian actually relied on his Taoist Eye to successfully practice the Bull Demon's Powerful Fist. His face was full of disbelief as he felt a feeling different from blood and energy slowly flowing through his body. It was a cool feeling, a cool breath.

"Magic power, I must have cultivated magical power. After eighteen years, I finally succeeded!"

"Master Dao, it's done!"

Although he had expected this, Zhang Tian couldn't stop feeling happy. He practiced harder every day. He felt more and more that the cold pool water at the bottom of the cliff was magical, containing endless vitality and was particularly useful.

half a month later.

Qingniu passed by and fell silent when he saw Zhang Tian practicing the Bull Demon Fist. He didn't expect that the other party would get the hang of it so quickly. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was because of the other party's talent or because the Tao Te Ching written by the master was really useful.

He said to Zhang Tian in silence, "You are weak."

"Well, it wasn't caused by the night."

"Ok, I know."

The Bull Demon's Power Fist is an immortal's magical power. Although it is not as good as those peerless skills, it can allow mortals to cultivate and become immortals. The first step is to gather essence and transform it into energy. Zhang Tian practiced very quickly, and the replenishment he gained was not much. What he consumed was his own essence.

So Qingniu thought about it and took Zhang Tian into the mountains. He borrowed some medicinal herbs from those goblins and monsters, which were just right for Zhang Tian to use to lay the foundation.

"If you run out of them, go borrow some from the little elves and monsters in the mountains. There is nothing you can't defeat within a 500-mile radius."

borrow?
Zhang Tian looked at the angry little monsters, who were chattering away. Although he couldn't understand what they were mumbling, it must be something about his ancestors. Anyway, the curses must be very dirty. He still accepted it calmly. After all, cultivation always requires hardship. When I have a higher level of cultivation, I will definitely come back to repay you, definitely, next time!
"Oh, by the way, you can also use the water in the cold pond to irrigate these herbs, so that they can grow more."

Seeing Qingniu mention the cold pond again, Zhang Tian took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Niu, what kind of monster is suppressed under the cold pond?"

"There are no monsters."

Qingniu said depressedly, "Your cultivation is still low now. You are just a person who refines essence into qi. When you cultivate to the stage of refining emptiness and merging with the Tao and become a true immortal, you will have to look for the five innate qi and absorb them into your body one by one. You will have to wait for the five qi to be complete and perfect before you can become an immortal golden immortal. But this step is very difficult, so some people try to take shortcuts."

"That guy actually came up with a weird idea. He placed himself in an alchemy furnace, refined himself with divine fire, and refined himself as a golden elixir!"

Zhang Tian was shocked. Isn't this the method that the monkey would use to cultivate his indestructible body in the Eight Trigrams Furnace in the future? The other party was originally a natural stone monkey with bones of steel. Later, he stole the peaches and elixir, and was reborn after being refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

He caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace and no one was his match.

He challenged all the gods alone and made the Four Heavenly Kings flee in panic. Nezha and his son from the Li family fled in panic. They were only separated from the Jade Emperor by a wall. They were barely stopped by the first guardian god of war, Wang Lingguan, and his thirty-six generals of the Thunder Department.

If Tathagata had not arrived in time, the monkey with the indestructible body would have really been able to break in!
Zhang Tian couldn't help but exclaim, "What a genius idea! I wonder which god in heaven he is now?"

Done.

He realized that he was a fool.

He turned his head and stared at Han Tan in amazement. Could it be...

"That's right. That guy jumped into the furnace and burned himself to death. His soul was burned to pieces and he turned into a pile of stone. My master disliked him and threw the furnace down from the sky. This is the cold pond."

Qingniu explained the reason for his depression, "My master asked me to come down to earth to guard this furnace and suppress it, for fear that the body of that ignorant fellow would change after his death, causing bad luck and turning him into a red-haired monster!"

This kind of immortal corpse mutates.

I'm afraid it will become a drought demon. Once it is born, the land will be barren for thousands of miles! I don't know how many lives will be harmed and how much sin will be committed!

Zhang Tian took a deep breath, because he remembered something. If the cold pond was caused by the furnace, then the water he drank... couldn't it be the legendary corpse water...

I suddenly felt depressed.

But when he thought that the other party was an immortal, according to what Xiaobailong said later, when he urinated in the river, the fish would turn into dragons after eating it, and when he landed on the top of a mountain, it would turn into Ganoderma lucidum, which would make people live longer. He was no longer an ordinary person, but an incredible and top-grade medicine!

Zhang Tian immediately felt envious, "I wonder how many years he practiced to reach this level. He was refined into stone, but three hundred years later, he can still make this cold pond water have such miraculous effects."

"If it's fast to become a perfect five-energy immortal, I remember a genius named Zhenwu who achieved it in just thirty or forty years not long ago."

The future Zhenwu Emperor?
Zhang Tian: …

"What about the dumber ones?"

"Some have practiced for three to five thousand years, and some have practiced for ten to twenty thousand years."

"Then how long do you think I will need to practice?"

Qingniu looked at Zhang Tian, was speechless for a long time, and then sighed.

Zhang Tian: Hey, what do you mean? What do you mean?
